I have no 'favorite format': simply, editing my own cover, maps and illustrations, I have found, as many others, that each format is better for some kind of images. And technical works are even more exacting and clamour strongly for some unusual and little know formats...

I would add 'now'--not so long ago I was hearing the same about svg, wasn't I?
Personally, instead of trying to limit everybody to the intersection of what 'the most usual' would support, I would aim at using the better available and expect the 'the most usual' to update... they would, someday...?
Anyway, as lifelong reader, I would rather not voice my very personal opinion of editors and their policies--which I should thank instead for forcing me to learn english.
